The proton physics run has now been paused for the first block of machine development studies, a technical stop and short oxygen- and neon-ion physics runs. Protons will be back in the machines on 12 July
The LHC has restarted and both beams have been circulating in the machine since 8 April, meaning that the start of the LHC beam commissioning during Easter is apparently not a constant of nature
Near-miss collisions at the Large Hadron Collider are shedding light on the dynamics of gluons, which contribute 99% to the mass of protons and neutrons
The LHC injector chain has been switched to a new beam production scheme to explore its potential to produce more collisions in the LHC and to compare its performance to that of the standard LHC beam
